Short Jtens of Jptarast The

Short Items of Interest.-The following
items were compiled for the columns of The UNION
If seed-corn is to be ordered from a distance
let it be on the cob and then you can know what
you are getting.
Don't sign your name to any paper for any
stranger, and don't allow yourself to be questioned
concerning your private affairs.
If you have not comfortable house for your
poultry, suppose you try sleeping with them few
nights to see how it goes to live out of doors in
winter. 1t is said to be healthy, but it is best to
try for yourself, so you can speak by the card.
Every farmer and gardener ought to have an
experimental plat wherein promising varieties Of
grain and vegetables may be tested. Often some
new variety will be hit upon that will just suit his
soil and prove profitable to cultivate. There is
nothing like being even with the times.
Water for fowls is as scarce now in some places
as it is during a drouth in summer. Fowls get
thirsty in winter we'll at other times and ap-
preciate drink of good water this frosty weather
as well as their owner does. See that they get it
and that it is not ice or snow water, but fresh
from the spring or pump.
1t is good plan to test all kinds of seeds be-
fore planting. This may be done by sowing few
in boxes and keeping the soil moist and warm
Count the seeds you sow and the number that
germinate, and you will know what you can de-
pend on when you plant or SOW them in the gar
den or truck patch.
In order that work shall not be piled up at
certain times and hands be idle at others, pro-
gramme should be carefully studied out and a
plan as nearly perfect as possible be made for the
coming seasons campaign. Some of the best
farming is done by the freside, in the evenings
after the days work is done.
There is benefcent Providence that watches
the affairs of men, but Providence gets tired
of looking after careless people. A great many
careless people find out every spring that Provi-
dence does not select very good seedcorn for them,
and they may as well understand that they have
got to take pains in selecting it themselves they
ought to have done heretofore. IF they have not
done so it is time they had.
The women folks should insist upon an en-
largement of the garden. A small garden is too
trifing for the to bother with in the busy sea-
son, SO it is apt to 60 uncultivated, or female
hands must do the planting, wedding and hoeing
If it were big enough to be worked with pillow,
harrow and cutivator, four times as much could be
grown in it at one,fourth the cost and the men
would take care of it. Let the plan be drawn now
and seeds and plants selected so that all will be
ready when the springtime cometh.

stated that the entire country east of the Missis
sippi river, with the exception of the New Eng
land States is covered with snow the fall of which
however, has been rather light. The snow-storm,
it was explained was the result of low tempera-
ture on land, causing the condensation of vapor
from the ocean,
